Its hard for me to focus/be productive in the cramped/small audit room at the client. I don't have this issue in the office or at my own desk. Should I confide in my team about the issue or just deal?

What level are you? I encourage my A2s to work offsite as needed when they aren't being productive, if you're a new hire though it might take a bit to build that trust. As a senior, own your flexibility and take control of your career. Ask for what you need.

I had the same issue. Give it some time to acclimate too.

Speak with your manager... Everyone works differently. If you are not being productive, better to bring it up with them and get their buy in to spend some lone time each day to wrap up your work .

I feel the same way. I am much more productive at the office as I know there are spaces for me to have "alone time" and crank shit out rather than having limited space at the client. And also an hour+ commute to the client doesn't help. I don't see the value add in sitting at the client site on a daily basis... But if the SMR says that's what we have to do, then we do it.

I would talk to your senior and/or manager about spending a few hours off-site to crush some work. Show them it's beneficial to you and the team.

@ey1 100% agree, can get frustrating
